According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes, remain a leading global cause of death, and the numbers continue to rise every year. Making informed choices as to best meals for your heart and overall health, every day, can be an important part of a long life.

Jon Smith Subs has many options for building and creating a heart-healthy meal at every one of their clean, fresh-and-fast sub shops. Knowing which menu items are lower in saturated fat and calories can help guide you to healthful choices when you’re watching your waist and being mindful of your health. Consider the following menu options when visiting a Jon Smith Subs, each with less than 20g of fat per offering:

– Turkey–the 6″ turkey sub is the lowest fat offering on the menu, with only 5g of fat. The 12″
sub is also low fat, with only 9g.
– Grilled chicken–this is one of the restaurant’s lowest fat options, with only 8g in the basic 6″
sub and 17g in the 12″.
– Italian chicken’s 6″ sub is a great choice for a little bit more zest and flavor, coming in at 15g.
– Roast beef–both the 6″ (6g) and the 12″ (11g) are lower fat options.
– Ham & cheese–this tasty 6″ sub clocks in at 11g.
– The veggie and provolone cheese sub is also a good choice, starting at 7g for the cold 6″
sub, 14g for the hot 6″ and just 14g for the cold 12″ sub.
